Josh sat behind the piano and literally gave me goose bumps with this sweet, soulful, stripped down performance. L.A. Reid proved his heart is actually made of cold stone when he claimed Josh’s performance lacked excitement.

Paula Abdul was in tears. She was crying her heart out before saying Josh is the one to beat in the finals. Simon Cowell wanted to be honest and fair so he had to agree with Paula. Yes. Nicole Scherzinger thanked Paula and Simon for recognizing the simple truth. “That was like a beautiful prayer. That was breathtaking,” she said.
